Freddy MacDonald (Sew Torn)

from MovieMaker Hosted by MovieMaker Magazine

A lot of things have happened to Freddy MacDonald that aren't supposed to happen anymore. His short film "Sew Torn" got him into AFI and scored him a meeting with Joel Coen, who urged him to turn it into a full-length film. He did. Sew Torn, out now, is the story of a seamstress who comes across a drug deal gone awry on a beautiful, isolated Swiss road. She must decide on one of three courses of action. Things spin out from there. You can read a bit more about Freddy MacDonald and watch and exclusive scene from the film right here. If you enjoy this interview please subscribe and we'll do more.
